Hi Bobby I find it thoroughly interesting the assumptions that are made as soon as someone mentions “Intelligent Design”. It’s quickly thought to be unprovable, therefore it should not be taught in schools. Then entire bases of intelligent design is showing the flaws in the evolutionary theory and if we did not evolve then where did we come from? Intelligent Design is taking the origin of the species back to formula. Darwin’s theory is left without a leg to stand on scientifically. If people wish to have faith in this swiss cheese theory, that is up to them, but allowing it to be the only theory presented in school is dogmatic. I understand the point of this so called religion of the Flying Spagetti Monster. The ignorance that flows from the purpose of this obscene “religion” is quite amusing. However, its reasoning is flawed. You wish for people to teach the theory of the Flying Spagetti Monster with out any plausible scientific backing, where as Intelligent Design is only using science to show the flaws in evolution and to say that another theory needs to be made. Perhaps you should study things more thorough before starting a movement… Enjoy, Brad
As far as I understand it, intelligent design is supposed to be an alternative to natural selection, not an alternative to evolution. Evolution is not a theory, it is fact, it has been observed. Theory comes in as a means to explain it. The theory of natural selection is a scientific theory because it provides a natural explanation for why evolution occurs. Now, intelligent design does not predict anything different than natural selection, so one can never really know which one is true. The problem is that ID provides a supernatural explanation for why evolution occurs. Its main argument is that the universe is too complex to try to understand it. This is the antithesis of science. Science is about probing and testing and pushing the bounds of our understanding of the world around us. If we just throw up our hands and say it’s just too complex, than there will never be any progress. That said, I have no problem with individuals believing in whatever higher power, or believing in intelligent design. I don’t discount the possibility, but the point is we don’t know. Even if there is a higher power, he/she/it may have set up the initial conditions of the universe, and then let it go on its own from there. But the fact remains that all of this discussion of possibilities of higher powers and an intelligently designed universe has no place in a science classroom. If people want to have this taught, it should be taught in philosophy classes, not science classes.
By the way, even if you can found flaw in the evolution theory, that doesn’t mean that evolution is false, only that we did’nt understood it fully, and that rhe theory is still perfectible. Newton, was false with his gravitation equations, but does that mean that gravity doesn’t exist?
I’ve heard this cannard before – “the flaws in evolutionary theory”, but I’ve never once heard anything remotely resembling an intelligent argument concerning it. Can one of you fundies please supply us with one of these “flaws”?
